A circular porcelain dish features a central medallion of a large, upright green banana leaf flanked by smaller purple-brown leaves and blue rocks. These elements sit against a yellow ground patterned with fine dark swirls. A wide outer border contains white spiraling scrollwork against a deep green background. A thin blue line encircles the central scene, while the plate's rim is scalloped and edged with a dark line.
